Genevieve Bujold remains my favourite Anne. She had the right combination of petite stature and dark looks. She has a certain je ne sais quoi about her portrayl of Anne, which goes beyond her physical apperance.

Natalie Dormer is a close second. She did an amazing job as Anne, and had a much larger format to work with than Bujold. However (and I am being picky), Natalie's blue eyes constantly distracted me. I wish The Tudors had used brown contact lenses, since Anne clearly was a brown eyed, brunette. 

I do agree with Mya about Natalie Portman. She did a great job with a limited script. She did bring raw emotion to Anne's final days, which was poignant and touching.

It was a tv series called Henry VIII and starred Ray Winstone as H8.

It is out on DVD.

Here's a taster..

I hated Natalie Dormer as Anne. I think she did a good enough job, she's a good actress, but I don't like how she was portrayed earlier in the seasons and I don't like the way she looked as Anne. Yes I found the blue eyes a distraction, it's a shame they couldn't do something so simple when it is one of the things most people associate with the way Anne Boleyn looks.

I have only just heard of the movie with Helena Bonham Carter playing Anne, I would love to see it. But I'm having a hard time finding it

But how can you hate Dormer as Anne, when she was just doing what she was told? Hate the producers/writers of the show . (; It's not her fault she was portrayed in a bad light during seasons 1-2.

 You forgot to mention Dorothy Tutin who played Anne in the 1970 6 part TV Series.Keith Michell played Henry in that series andagain in the film a few years later..

Of all the actresses to play Anne however I think Genevieve Bujold (Anne of a Thousand Days) is among the best.I found her portrayal of Anne was exactly how I think Anne would have been. Very firey and also very determined and resolute. Richard Burton was just brilliant as Henry V111.. But for me the only actor who really gives, what I feel is a true interpretation of Henry is Keith Michell..

Natalie Dormer was very good as Anne, and again like Genevieve gave a very convincing performance of Anne.

Helena Bonham Carter, was also excellent as Anne. She brought to Anne's charater a little bit about how Anne must have felt when Henry started taking Mistresses not long after they were married..and just how devestated she was to have miscarried what was to have been a boy.

There is also a scene in the Ray Winstone film where Anne and Catherine of Aragon cross swords. Brilliant.

I should imagine that Catherine of Aragon must have been hopping mad with Anne in real life..really must of wanted to strangle her, but I suppose you could say Catherine had her revenge on Anne because of the way Anne died not so long after she herself had died…

By the way 2 rumours that may or may not be true.. Katherine of Aragon as you know is buried in Peterbrough Catherdral.. rumour has it that her favourite maid Maria Da Salanas is buried with her.. The Victorians who restored her tomb aparently opened Catherine's coffin enough and saw 2 different sorts of material and 3 thigh bones.. and a request found in Maria's will said that when she died she wanted to be buried with Catherine..

The other rumour is that when Anne's head fell onto the scaffold the candles that were burning on Catherine's tomb flared up and burned blue for a few hours after Anne death..

What would you ask her if we could travel through time? Would you warn her to keep Henry at arms length?

 

To go all Timey-wimey-space-ball-stuff and fixed-points-in-time…no. I'd explain that Anne's death was important but the child of Anne and Henry  was going to bring balance to the force…
